2016 is coming to a close so we just wanted to recap the full length albums we released this year. There’s a lot to listen to out there, so if you’ve taken even a few moments to peruse any of these titles or paused what you had playing to take in any of them, we sincerely appreciate it. We’ve included a brief description of each and a “for fans of” in case you’re unfamiliar with any of them. For the remainder of 2016, they’re also all pay-what-you-want download with all proceeds going in equal parts to The Trevor Project, Planned Parenthood and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Happy listening!

Slingshot Dakota - Break CD, cassette, vinyl, digital | March 11, 2016 | TSR145 The third LP from these two Bethlehem, PA lovebirds features a dynamic array of slow burning keyboard-driven ballads and crashing punk drums. FFO: Lemuria, Kississippi, Mates of State [listen]

Mock Orange - Put the Kid on the Sleepy Horse CD, cassette, vinyl, digital | May 20, 2016 | TSR154 Evansville, IN’s cult favorites’ eighth album that marries their alt-country leanings with their Midwest emo roots. FFO: Built to Spill, Rogue Wave, The Sea and Cake, Wilco [listen]

CLIQUE - Burden Piece CD, cassette, vinyl, digital | May 27, 2016 | TSR152 After releasing one of the best debut records we’ve heard in some time, Philadelphia, PA’s CLIQUE follow that up with an equally somber and reflective collection of beautifully simple emo pop songs. FFO: Pedro the Lion, Pile, Duster, Bedhead [listen]

Field Mouse - Episodic CD, cassette, vinyl, digital | August 5, 2016 | TSR155 The Brooklyn/Philadelphia quintet’s sophomore LP sees them hitting the more polished dream pop of previous releases with a sand blaster of pop-fueled vitriol. FFO: The Lemonheads, Garbage, The Breeders, Metric, Speedy Ortiz [listen]

Happy Diving - Electric Soul Unity CD, cassette, vinyl, digital | August 19, 2016 | TSR156 After releasing my personal favorite album of 2014 (Kevin), Bay Area fuzz punks Happy Diving continue to flourish behind hugely catchy and innovative guitar leads. FFO: Milk Music, Tony Molina, Cloud Nothings [listen]

Dangers - The Bend in the Break CD, cassette, vinyl, digital | October 14, 2016 | TSR160 An emotionally and sonically engaging record end-to-end, Dangers return to form with a 13-song post-hardcore magnum opus. FFO: Comadre, Swain, Ceremony, Fucked Up, Every Time I Die [listen]

LITE - Cubic CD, vinyl, digital | November 16, 2016 | TSR163 Japan’s LITE pick up right where they left off on 2014′s Installation LP with ten songs of psychedelic noodling and technical songcraft. FFO: Battles, Don Caballero, 65daysofstatic, toe [listen]

Enemies - Valuables CD, vinyl, cassette, digital | December 9, 2016 | TSR164 The final album from the Dublin, IE quartet—a brilliantly focused nine songs of layered, soaring, pop-infused math rock. FFO: American Football, TTNG, Foals, Collections of Colonies of Bees, toe [listen]
